svchost wants to connect to deploy.akamaitechnologies.com

[AlexandreAmant]

I have been getting a firewall warning for the last few days.
The generic host process wants to connect to deploy.akamaitechnologies.com (TCP port 80).
My antivirus is up-to-date and I've ran the latest ad-aware and still, every 10 minutes this process tries to connect.

I have 3 instances of svchost running and 8 sockets svchost listening, according to my firewall.

I suspect I got a spyware, but I can't detect it.

Anyone had the same problem ?

Check this out...looks like normal behavior...

If you'll google on "deploy.akamaitechnologies.com " you'll get a slew of hits...

Yes I've done that.

Does it mean that my ISP has changed some settings recently and is using akamaitechnologies for some DNS business ?

Quite possible...

Actually, no. Other users on the same network as me, and thus the same public IP, don't have this problem.

Any idea ?
